Barb, the primary reason why I bought one is because I grind for the dogs. I supplement their diet with raw food. I grind about once every 2 months in batches. It's much cheaper than buying prepackaged.

I've also grounded other meats for us but not nearly as often. It did pay for itself in about a year so it was a good investment for us.

I'm waiting for the big brown truck, suppose to bring the grinder today. Looking forward to using the workhorse.

Excellent! Don't know if you are planning to grind bones but I've used it on chicken bones with no problem.
